Camping at Nelson Point near Lakehead

Public campground · Lakehead · 1 campsite · 1 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking.

About this campground

Nelson Point sits on the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake, about a short drive west of Redding off I-5 near the Salt Creek/Conflict Point area, and offers direct access to the lake's long sweep of shoreline and steep, manzanita- and evergreen-covered ridges. Lake Shasta itself rests at about 1,067 feet and has 365 miles of shoreline; on clear days you can pick out the snow-capped bulk of Mount Shasta on the horizon.

Very bad service. They only picked up trash one time in nine days.
Alicia K ★ 2 · Jan 2020
We we constantly interrupted by strangers. People walking in to view the campground, one camper came in a camped overnight with his Jeep and trailer, one guy came down from the mountains and we had to call the police. Overall we had a good time. We enjoyed the grounds and the views. But the privacy isn’t what we thought.
